Administración de Bush forzada volcar documentos que espían de viernes
Un juez federal ha ordenado la administración de Bush divulgar los documentos relacionados con las compañías de inmunización de las telecomunicaciones de pleitos, decir abrieron ilegal sus redes en la agencia de la seguridad nacional.
LOS E.E.U.U. Juez Susan Illston del districto en San Francisco dio la oficina del director de la inteligencia nacional hasta el 30 de noviembre (viernes) de volcar documentos referente a conversaciones que tenía con los portadores del congreso y de las telecomunicaciones sobre cómo reescribir leyes de la interceptación de teléfonos.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation had filed this case to seek faster processing of a Freedom of Information Act request it filed, which could help buttress its ongoing lawsuit against AT&T. There are approximately 250 pages of unclassified material and 65 pages of classified material, which would be redacted, that the administration has identified but said could not be turned over until December 31.
Note that Illston’s order doesn’t deal with the NSA’s wiretapping program itself (how it works, what companies are involved, whether there really is a secret room at AT&T’s 611 Folsom Street location). Instead the documents relate only to conversations and communications about retroactive immunity for companies like AT&T that are accused of violating the law.
Note also that if AT&T and other telecommunications companies followed the law, no retroactive immunity is necessary. Because AT&T and the Bush administration are supporting such a legal shield, you can draw your own conclusions about what’s really going on.
The Friday deadline means that the documents will likely be available in time to influence congressional debate over amending the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Some FISA amendments expire in February 2008, which means that Congress is likely to return to the topic soon.
The House of Representatives rejected retroactive immunity on November 16. The Senate Judiciary Committee seemed to like the idea of immunity, but the debate is expected to resume on the Senate floor next month.
